Zork. Wow. I remember that my friend's dad actually mapped out the entire thing by hand on grid paper.
I suspect that's the smart way to do it. Would make a pretty cool map.
My cousin and I tried making a map of the maze by dropping items in each room. We got some parts mapped out reliably, but it was still a long process that ended up with a few questionable paths
There's a blast from the past. It's been a long time since I thought about Zork.
"Return to Zork" was one of the very first CD-Rom games I ever played. It's not a great game exactly but it's very near and dear to my heart.
Exact same thing here. I was stuck for years because no internet and I didn't figure out I needed to ask Boos for his keys. Then a friend got a hint book which unblocked me. I still loved the game even back when I was stuck lol. The atmosphere, the music (man, the music!), the weirdness. Love that game.
What a throwback! Super clever with the glow-in-the-dark message.
The Zork anthology is on Steam. FYI.
And on sale atm.
I need a new battery. Can you here me?! A new battery!!
Link to the pattern?
Am I the only one in these text based adventures like Zork, King Arthur and Alice in Wonderland who did KILL SELF to see what happened?
